Charlize Theron Says She’s Down To Star In Female-Driven Die Hard Remake

As we've discovered plenty of times over the years, very few movies are safe from being remade, reinvented or rebooted, with the list of titles deemed sacred getting shorter on an annual basis.

It gained so much traction that Theron herself even took notice and revealed that she was more than okay with the idea, as you can see below.

Charlize Theron may be one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation as well as an experienced, proven and reliable action heroine, but some movies simply shouldn’t be remade, and Die Hard is definitely one of them.
